Planet Miners

It’s January 1, 2050, and after many decades of research and development of
space travel, mankind is ready to reach out to the planets of the solar system
to establish mining bases. Up to four players compete with each other and the
computer to stake valuable mining claims throughout the solar system, while
the mining council has stationed patrol ships throughout the system to make
sure everyone follows the rules. Thus begins several weeks of intensive
exploration, political maneuvering, sabotage, and claim jumping which will
decide the course of the economic exploitation of outer space for the next
hundred years. You have the opportunity to guide your family to a commanding
economic position in the solar system. The game can also be played solitaire
against the computer.
